Metropolitan Youth Symphony Jazz Ensemble Tickets

The Metropolitan Youth Symphony (MYS), based in Portland, Oregon, provides a dynamic and inclusive path for young musicians through its multi-ensemble program, including a dedicated Jazz Ensemble and Jazz All-Stars for ages 6 and up. Under the direction of Chris Shuttleworth, the Jazz Ensemble is described as a large, big-band-inspired group that nurtures an appreciation for jazz fundamentals, improvisation, and ensemble precision in a supportive, professional environment. As part of MYS's 50th Anniversary Season, the organization has fostered high-profile collaborations, including a performance with Esperanza Spalding and the world-premiere commissioned piece Dispelling The Lie Of Lies in June 2025. The Jazz Ensemble remains a cornerstone for Portland-area youth who want to develop their craft in a community that values performance opportunities and educational excellence.
